JUICE OVERLOAD
Like many parents, you may consider "natural" fruit juice a healthy
snack, and if you have a picky eater, you may be tempted to give
him/her lots of juice to supplement their diet. But young children
who drink large amounts of fruit juice, apple juice in particular,
are at risk for severe nutritional deficiencies that can interfere
with normal growth, according to researchers at the Maimonides
Medical Center in New York City. Drinking juice throughout the day
will decrease a child's appetite, making eating problems even worse.
Juices with lots of fructose and sorbitol sugars can cause diarrhea,
bloating, and cramps when not fully digested. And kids who constantly
guzzle juice from a bottle are susceptible to cavity-causing
bacteria. It's best to give young children real fruits and vegetables
or water, which is essential for a balanced diet and won't interfere
with their appetites. If you decide to serve juice, wait until your
child is a year old and serve it only in a cup as a beverage with a
meal - not as a snack. Toddlers should drink no more than four to
eight ounces of juice a day. Older kids should be limited to one or
two cups daily, each with a meal. *By Jeffrey L. Brown, M.D.,

The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as an idea can be tracked back into history, in truth as far back into recorded history as the Egypt of the Pharoahs, and maybe even further. In practice though, sadly, these ancient cook books were just basic pictorial instructions for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts in ancient history are some clay tablets in Sumerian describing the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel blissful. As we move into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius compiled a few scripts which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy Romans. In his publication, Apicius describes how the roman meals were separated into appetizers, main course and desserts, something we still use today. This early Roman chef informs us how the chefs of Roman times made use of a wide range of herbs, including some familiar names such as thyme, rue and parsley. Moving our culinary historical trip onwards, there are a couple of interesting cookery books published in the 1300s : a book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these two books are not about the indian curry that is familiar to us all today, but rather accounts of the types of food on the tables of the rich people of the period. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and spices from the holy lands, including spices such as coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations led to a torrent in recipe books, most of which are now in private cookery archives. Over the following few centuries, the wealthy families of Wesstern Europe tried to serve the most extravagent banquests, and consequentially chefs and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that cookery and recipe books became really popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Merritt Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down recipes for their fellow cooks to enjoy. When we get to the 1900s, recipe publications are increasing in popularity as a result of better eduction, increased leisure time and a general increase in wealth. The arrival of TV brought us celebrity chefs and the demand for the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes just like those on this web site. |
